The Rapp Court-Martial-A New Board
of Examiners-Co. A's Election.

\ 4hc IdDp We"
| of Examiners-Co. AS Election.
A large roll of documents, being the tes-
timony taken by the Court OF Inquiry at
| Nevada City and at the Court-martial held
| in this city last August, will be forwarded
| to General Headquarters, State Of Califor-
MIA, to-day, for the final action of Adjutant-
| General orion. The proceedings, findings
and sentence of the Court-martial have been
approved by the Brigadier- General, but
| Captain Rapp will have the right OF appeal
| to the Commander-in-C Chief, Governor
Waterman, at any time within twenty days.
| The sentence of the Court, of which Major
G. II. Hubbard was President, and Major
F. D. Ryan Judge-Advocate is that Captain
John A Rapp be dismissed from the serv-
ice, which means dishonoranle discharge,
but does not carry with 1t that degree of
degradation that cashiering" does. The
testimony taken before the Court IS very
volumlnous, and the proceedings seem 10
have been conducted in a thorough and
conscientious manner by the officers de-
tailed to act This trial was based on the
report of Committee of Inquiry, sent to
Nevada CITY early in the summer,
to examine into and report on the
financial accounts of Captain Rapp,
who has for many years COM
manded Company c, of the First
Artillery Regiment, in that town. The
committee consisted of Northumberland
E. II. Mckee, Major F. ID. Ryan of the
Brigade staff, and Captain 7. B. Hall, of
Company G, of this city. There were
many witnesses from Nevada City present
at the Court martial, and their expenses, to-
gether with the stenogaphers bill and the
expenses of the Board of Inquiry, will foot
up several hundred dollars. The rules and
regulations of the National Guard of this
State provide that the officer ordering the
Court shall, within fifteen days
from the time the decision of the Court is
submitted to him, approve or disapprove
the findings, sentence, etc. A much greater
period than this has elapsed, but whether
this will invalidate the proceedings or not,
is matter for the COMMANDMENTS. Chief to
determine. If Company Cs members had
insisted on their right to demand month
ly statement of their finances. this trouble
would have been averted. The Nevada
Light Guard (C), has an excellent lot of
men, and if the sentence of dismissal is
imposed on Captain Rapp and he is de-
posed from command, it has two Lieuten-
ants, either of whom would prove Compel
ent Captain.
A new Board of Examiners has been ap-
pointed by General Orion, to examine all
elected commissioned officers in the
Brigade. 1t consists of Colonel J. w.
Guthrie, Lieutenant-C Colonel E. H. Mckee
and Major Fred Neary, field officers of the
First Artillery Regiment. The retiring
members are Captain Cook, Company B,
and Colonel T. w. Sheehan.
Company A will hold an election for
Captain next Thursday evening, November
Sth. Lieutenant Get, of Company E. is
mentioned as the only candidate for the
position.

Attempted Outrage.

Thursday evening, about 8 o'clock, Mrs.
G. L. Sledge, married woman and late
arrival in this city, was assaulted by a
young man of this city named James I.
McNiff. with intent, she states. to commit
rape. The woman's side of the story is
that McNlH accosted her on the street and
claimed that he was detailed by the Chief
of Police to arrest her on the charge that
she was illegally married. The woman
being stranger, did not know where the
police station was, but thinking the man
was an officer, accompanied him McNiff
led her down Fifth street, near L, when they
stopped, the man stating that he wished to
talk to her. The woman was very nervous
and stated that she was lawfully married.
| at the same time beginning to cry. At this
moment McNiff pushed her down and
would, she states, have outraged her but for
| the timely appearance of man unknown,
who heard her cries. Mrs. Sledge also
| claims that he slapped her and treated her
| roughly in general, and threatened to kill
her if she told her husband. Yesterday
morning she came down to the station
house and swore to two complaints, charg-
ing McNiff with attempted rape and bat
terry. Her husband, a young man, is very
indignant over the affair, and intends to
have it investigated McNiff surrendered
himself yesterday afternoon, and was re-
leased on bond of 81 900, with Thomas
Scott and c. G. Brown as sureties.
McNiffs side of the story is altogether
different, and he denies the charge. He
states that he had previously arranged to
meet her, and that they merely went for
walk. He says that the woman was all
the time opening his coat, and that he
made no assault at all on her.
Chief Diliman says that the woman told
him that she made no cutlery at all

Methods Employed to Extract the Deli
cate Odor of Flowers.
Pomades are the commercial vehicle
for absorbing and transporting the per-
fumes of the jonquil, tuberose. jasmine
and few other species of flowers.
A square frame, or chassis of white
wood, and about twenty by thirty
inches in size, is set with pane OF
strong plate glass. On each side of
the glass is spread thin, even layer
of grease, which has been purified and
refined. Thus prepared, the frames
are piled up in ranks six or seven feet
high to await the season of each special
flower.
When the blossoms arrive, the petals
are picked from the stem-the pistils
and stamens being discarded-and laid
SO as to cover the grease in each frame.
These being again piled so as to rest
upon their wooden edges, which fit
closely together, there is formed series
of tight chambers, the floors and cell
ings of which are of grease, exposed to
the perfume of the fiower-leaves within.
The grease absorbs the perfume. the
spent flowers are removed daily and
fresh ones supplied, andk this process
goes on from two to four or five months,
according to the desired strength of
the pomade, which, when sufficiently
charged with perfume, is taken from
the glass with a wide, thin spatula, and
packed in tin cans for export.
By these methods, the delicate odors
of flowers are extracted and retained
for transpJ Jrt to distant markets, where,
being treated with alcohol, they yield
their perfume to that stronger vehicle,
and produce the floral waters and ex-
tracts of commerce.
Coarser pomades are made By boiling
the flowers in the grease. and subject
ing the residue to pressure. The spent
pomades are used for toilet-purposes
and in the manufacture of fine soaps.
The process of preparing perfumed
oils involves the same principle except
that, instead of solid grease, superfine
olive oil is used. With this oil, pieces
of coarse cotton fabric are saturated.
which are then spread upon wire netting
stretched in wooden frames about three
by four feet in size. The flowers are
spread upon the saturated cloths, and
the frames are piled one above the other,
so that the perfume of the flowers is
absorbed as in the previous process.
Essences and "fower waters" are
produced by ordinary distillation, in
which the flowers are boiled in water in
large alembics. The vapor carries off
the perfume, and is condensed in adj
joining copper tanks, like ordinary
spirits. Some of the retorts used for this
purpose are of Sufficient size to receive
at once half ton of fresh flowers, with
the requisite water for their distillation.
When '.fiower waters" are to be pro-
duced. alcohol is used in the distilling
tank TO receive the perfumes.-GoldeD

DO 1T WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do

Never put of TIL tomorrow
The thing you can do to-day.
Never let pleasure borrow
An hour that pain must pay.
Though storm on your path seems brewing
And clouds may obscure the light,
Whatever you deem worth doing
Is worth doing with all your might.
Would you win Dame Fortunes favorsi
Then WOO her with heart and soul,
Though the cup she offers savors
At times OF the galI-touched bowl.
Press on when the plow you're driving,
Look not 10 the left or right,
Though hard be your task, keep striving
And do it with all your might
II ever you turn from the labor
Appointed for you TO do,
Let it be TO assist neighbor
Less stalwart and strong than you
Stand not as cold beholder
OF woes that may meet your sight;
Relieve them, and work on bolder,
And do it with all your might.
All. this is life's lesson, and learning
It's wisdom and truth you will gain
Such treasures that even their earning
Will take all the sting out Of pain.
When the dark shadows round you have van

And Nature is smiling and bright
BE sure they were scattered and banishe3
When you struck them with all your might
Again let the maxim be spoken,
Once said by the wise and the true,
And lay il to heart as token
OF what courage and patience can do.
When life's tumult is raging around you,

Battle on until conquest has crowned you,
And battle with all your might.

SoiIing Crops for Sheep.

1t has been claimed by some that il
was impracticable to feed soiling crops
to sheep. because of the liability of
disease when they are kept in small in
closures, but this may be guarded
against by moving them frequently
onto fresh feeding grounds. Todo this,
hurdle fences should be provided that
can be handled easily and not more
than eighty or one hundred sheep should
be kept in a flock. Racks should be
used. placing them on the shady side Of
the field when there is one, and a mod
crate quantity of green food should be
placed in these three times a day.
When used for soiling sheep. the clover,
millet, oats, csrn, rye. or whatever crop
is used, should not be allowed to ripcn,
as the sheep will eat it with better relish
when fine and iuicy.-Lice-Stock Jour

SKULLS AND SNAKES
Uncomfortable Ornaments for Gentlemen
Canes and Umbrellas.


The extent to which idiotic cane
heads and umbrella handles will be
carried is capable of astonishing if not
horrifying the beholders. There have
been plenty OF the grotesque monstrosi-
ties on exhibition among silly young
men ever since oxidized silver came
into fashion. A favorite thing has
handle Of carved wood, elaborately
painted, representing an uncanny head,
half human and half beast. A college
graduate sat in an orchestra chair at a
theater with cane in his mouth most
of the time. The device was an oxi-
died silver skull as big as hem egg.
and on top of the skull there crawled
an enameled lizard. The well educated
young man sat and chewed this lizard
in a way to madden any delicate woman
in his vicinity. In New York store WIN
dow were lately shown stand of fifty
of the most villainous inventions ever
put on the tops of canes or umbrellas.
Inside, and from a handsome case, the
polite attendant produced cane and
umbrella, to which the same knob could
be attached. and in fair weather or foul
the happy possessor could make him
self terror to society. The knob was
large skull of oxidized silver, with a
flexible jaw that wriggled at you as you
moved ii. while from the eyeless sockets
on the slightest agitation there pro-
truded the heads of two snakes. 1t was
a thing to make one shudder, but the
proprietor spoke with pride of being
the only importer of this internal de-
sign.
Robert Heller used to wear an eaam-
eled skull as a scarf pin. An eyeglass
made OF an emerald occupied one
socket, and by a connecting battery in
his pocket he made the dreadful little
thing chatter its teeth in a truly hair
standing fashion. But Robert was a
disciple of the black art, and it was his
business to surround himself with the
attributes of diabolism. The usual
young monkey who buys such toys
hasn't the brains to become presti-
digitator, and is only social nuisance.

l was waiting, not great while ago,

myself with looking round on the
many faces, old and young, handsome
and ugly, that decorated the walls, and
resting i'll my quiet corner, l was
aroused by heavy football on the
stair. The door opened and young
man entered. He had an honest, sun
burnt face. on which smile of quiet
satisfaction beamed, and he was lead
ing by the hand small. quaint looking
old lady, neatly but plainly dressed.
He led her tenderly, almost reverently,
| to chair and seated her. She seemed
quite fatigued and trembled from weak
ness. The son looked upon her with
such genuine affection and honest de-
light that it brought the tears to my
ewes. Nothing could be more touching
or striking than the contrast. He, just
on the threshold of life, full of hope
and freshness, every thing wearing the
rose-colored tint of early morning.
fearing nothing, hoping all things; she,
with her snow-white locks and tremb-
ling age. leaning on his strong arm
with faultless trust, the time of her de-
parture near at hand, life's tolls and
laburs over, its hOnors, its strife moth

''Can you take picture, mister? /
hope that she is not too old or that her
not seeing good will make any differ

and know that it is me. Say. mister,

stint mother. feel like l don't want

The son was requested to lead his
mother into the ante-room. As they
returned he was loud in his praises to
the artist at the success, and the humble
little mother, clinging to the strong
manly arm of her boy rs she passed
out, had calm, holy expression, as if
she already discerned the golden gates
of the New Jerusalem which she must
shortly enter. How gayly he chatted
